In the Rising Star category, the key is revenue potential rather than revenue growth. All applications are made through a pitch and a well-developed business plan. A panel of independent experts from the technology sector analyses each entry and makes a selection according to scalability, experience, management team expertise and highly promising growth.

The nominees for the Rising Star award also compete for the Most Disruptive Innovator award. This award recognises companies that have developed a product service which makes very high-end technology accessible for wide application and use.

We are excited to be once again among the businesses nominated by Deloitte in the Rising Star category, said Steven Tielemans, CEO of THEOplayer. As our young company continues to grow worldwide by leveraging a unique market advantage, our fully HTML5 video player that uses no plugins such as Flash or Silverlight, awards like Rising Star give us immense affirmation. They fuel our drive to continue disrupting the global online video industry and grow even further.
